A wonderful lady friend in this group, sent me some multi-colored 1/2 sq triangles. I made her some 12 1/2" quilt block's in exchange. Anyhow, can someone give me a ideal as to what quilt block pattern to use. There roughly 3" x 3". I just finished 2 quilt tops, but want to start something else, with those 1/2 sq triangles.

Sounds like fun, and googling sure brings up lots of possibilities for you to try. https://www.google.ca/search?q=favor...w=1280&bih=854

half square triangle blocks are really fun to play with- you can come up with so many different layouts with them- one time I had a couple hundred of them someone had 'gifted' me...I would grab up about 30 of them and sit at the table laying them out, turning them this way & that way until I came up with a lay out I liked thought would make a fun quilt- I recommend spending some time playing with them- you will come up with something that just strikes you as the way to go in no time.
such fun!

Look at Edyta Sitar's Friendship Triangles book. Most patterns use 1/2 sq triangles and that is all that is in them. So if your 1/2 square triangles aren't exactly the size she uses it won't matter if all yours are the same size. Some are small projects. Some are large.
